But the environment changes — making the annual ECR Forum & Marketplace the perfect place to find out how ECR moves with the times.  So come to the 13th Forum & Marketplace at the International Congress Centre in Berlin from May 27-29, 2008, and find out about Creating sustainable shopping value.

Berlin, the 'must see' city

Wonderful architecture, amazing history, some of the finest museum collections in the world, and the buzz of a lively, cosmopolitan city: Berlin has it all.
Once the Prussian capital, more recently a city divided, nowadays Berlin thrives once more as the home of the German parliament, the Bundestag, and the heartbeat of a unified nation.

For the visitor there is so much to see, from home of parliament, the Reichstag building, with its extraordinary glass dome, to the famous Brandenburg Gate. The attractions are easy to reach, too, by bus, tram or train, and hotel accommodation is plentiful.

All in all, it is a city not to be missed – assuming ECR delegates have time for sightseeing!
